Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are.

Honesty! I am presently ORDERING the book, because I am thrilled with what I read re the motivations behind, and long gestation period of, SMASH! I'm a Mom who loved comics as a kid and couldn't agree more with the authors' responses to current comics (silly name for not-so-comic stuff). Personally, I loved Lulu and friends, but until someone brings her back, I'll gladly read Smash.

My two young boys are really into comics, but the problem I have is most are aimed to quite older children. I was so happy to find Smash. It was exciting without being gory, the story was enthralling, and the drawings are fantastic. We spent a week reading it at bed time, with each session ending the same way- my boys begging to read a few more pages. We were really sad when it was over, but the ending gives hope that a sequel might happen. Which everyone in my house hopes for as well. If you have children, or even loved comics yourself as a child, you'll love Smash.

Chris and Kyle Bolton took their time developing this remarkable character, and I was waiting the whole time! I was enthralled with comic books 40 years before they began spending their whole allowance on comics. Now I have a 4-year-old grandson who's nuts over the whole battlefield of superheroes. Based on Chris' history of their venture, I'm buying a copy, confident that it's exactly what I want to share with my grandson. I'll probably return to comment further after I get the book. I've looked at the current crop of comics (mine used to cost a dime) and they seem aimed at 20-year-old adolescents. SMASH:Trial by Fire looks like the writer and artist got it right! (Disclosure: I've done hundreds of editorial cartoons.)
